2. She is unafraid to go further than her own party with her denouncement of the POTUS.

"My colleagues would not like me to say the 'I' word, but I keep saying it. Impeachment, impeachment, impeachment.
Because, this president was absolutely in collusion with the Kremlin, and Putin in Russia during the campaign. I believe that... they're going for the oil."

"Trump has stepped on everybody. He has no respect for his own colleagues let alone those on the opposite side of the aisle.
He's called names, he's lied. He's done everything to show that he really doesn't have good value and he can't be trusted. Why should we work with someone that we can't trust? He'll tell you one thing today and another thing tomorrow.
As a matter of fact, those people who voted for him ought to be really concerned— on the fact that he's already backpedaled on some of the promises that he made. So no, I have no intention of pretending everything's alright."
